Documentation for the automated taxobox system

This template is only suitable for taxa whose names are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. For ranks below species whose names are regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants see Template:Infraspeciesbox.

Usage

Usage is almost the same as Template:Automatic taxobox, except that you need to specify:

• |genus=name of the genus; e.g. Panthera
• |subgenus=link to subgenus if any
• |species=specific name; e.g. leo
• |species_link= (optional link to page about species; defaults to genus species)
• |subspecies=subspecific name; e.g. melanochaita

Unlike {{Speciesbox}}, |taxon= cannot be used; the three parts of the trinomial must be given separately.

If the subspecies is extinct, but the species and genus are not, then you need to specify:

• |extinct=yes or year (in order to display the year of extinction, year is needed if |status= is set, whether or not the genus is extinct)

If the species (and hence the subspecies) is extinct, but the genus is not, then you need to specify:

• |species_extinct=yes

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
name	name	Title of the taxobox; may be the English vernacular name of the subspecies	String	optional
image	image	An image of a member of the subspecies, given without the File: or Image: prefix and without double brackets	File	suggested
image_upright	image_upright	Used to adjust the displayed size of an image with an extreme aspect ratio. Values under 1.0 decrease the size of an image (most useful for very tall, narrow images) Values over 1.0 increase the size of an image (possibly useful for short, wide images) Example 0.8	Number	optional
image_alt	image_alt	Text describing what is depicted in the image	String	optional
image_caption	image_caption	A caption for the image, if any is necessary. Do not simply repeat the name of the taxon	String	optional
image2	image2	An second image of a member of the subspecies, given without the File: or Image: prefix and without double brackets. It is desirable to display images of both sexes of sexually dimorphic subspecies.	File	optional
image2_caption	image2_caption	A caption for the second image, if any is necessary. Do not simply repeat the name of the taxon	String	optional
image2_upright	image2_upright	Used to adjust the displayed size of an image with an extreme aspect ratio. Values under 1.0 decrease the size of an image (most useful for very tall, narrow images) Values over 1.0 increase the size of an image (possibly useful for short, wide images) Example 0.8	Number	optional
status	status	The conservation status of the taxon as assigned by a particular authority Example LC	String	optional
status_system	status_system	The authority assigning a particular conservation status Example IUCN3.1	String	optional
status_ref	status_ref	A citation that supports the displayed status and status_system parameters	String	optional
extinct	extinct	The date a subspecies was declared extinct (specifying |status=EX is required in order for the date to display). Alternatively, if a non-numeric value is given, displays † to indicate that a subspecies is extinct Example 1066	String	optional
species_extinct	species_extinct	Displays † to indicate that the parent species is extinct Example yes	Boolean	optional
genus	genus	Scientific name of the genus with no formatting; used in conjunction with |species and |subspecies. Example Homo	String	required
subgenus	subgenus	The subgenus containing a particular species. Any formatting or link mark-up must be manually added.	String	optional
species_link	species_link	The title of the article that is the parent species of the subspecies. Used to bypass a redirect when the species has a vernacular name title. Required when the genus is disambiguated. Should not be specified in other circumstances	Page name	optional
species	species	Scientific name (species epithet) of the species with no formatting; used in conjunction with |genus and |subspecies. Example sapiens	String	required
subspecies	subspecies	Scientific name (subspecies epithet) of the subspecies with no formatting; used in conjunction with |genus and |species. Example sapiens	String	required
authority	authority	The describing authority for the subspecies in the appropriate format; presence or absence of parentheses is meaningful Example Wilkes, 1810	String	suggested
range_map	range_map	The name of the image file, if any, showing the subspecies' geographic habitat	File	optional
range_map_upright	range_map_upright	Used to adjust the displayed size of a range map. May be useful when the range map has an extreme aspect ratio (use values <1 for tall/narrow range maps, and >1 for short/wide range maps). May also be necessary if an image_upright parameter is specified Example 0.8	Number	optional
range_map_caption	range_map_caption	A caption for the range map, if any is necessary	String	optional
synonyms	synonyms	Taxonomic synonyms. These should be displayed in a collapsed list format if there are many of them.	String	optional
synonyms_ref	synonyms_ref	A reference supporting the synonymy shown in the list	String	optional
